Farmer Johnâs Cookbook is teeming with ways to use basil, cabbage, rutabaga, tomatoes, or whatever is plentiful, with 225 savory recipes grouped by season and by vegetable.

From Pumpkin Sage Soup and Cajun Corn and Kale Salad to Chocolate Beet Cakeâ¦the recipes here have been created and tested by people who are in love with vegetablesâthe cooks in the Angelic Organics farm kitchen and the thousands of lucky customers who enjoy a boxful of beautiful vegetables and herbs every week of the Angelic Organics growing season.

Lifelong farmer John Peterson runs Angelic Organics, one of the largest Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms in the United States. More than 1,300 families in the Chicago area receive a weekly delivery of vegetables and herbs from Angelic Organics. John is the subject of Taggart Siegelâs award-winning feature documentary film, The Real Dirt on Farmer John, which has been seen in theaters and on television throughout the world.
